One of the greatest anti-war thrillers ever made, Fail-Safe stars Henry Fonda, Walter Matthau, Dan O'herlihy, Larry Hagman and Fritz Weaver (in his film debut) in a four-star techno- thriller that builds tension and suspense with every tick of the nuclear clock.

When a military computer error deploys a squadron of SAC bombers to destroy Moscow, the American President (Fonda) tries to call them back. But their sophisticated fail-safe system prevents him from aborting the attack...so he must convince the Soviets not to retaliate and bring us back from the brink of World War III.
